Network Service Alias
A network service alias is a set of configurations that consist of protocol and port mappings. Both
source and destination ports are configurable. For each protocol, up to 2 source port ranges and
up to 2 destination port ranges can be configured. A maximum of 4 protocol entries can be
configured per network service alias.
Use a service alias to associate more than one IP address to a network interface, providing multiple
connections to a network from a single IP node.
To define a service alias configuration:
Host Specify the Host IP address for up to eight IP addresses supporting network aliasing. Select the down
arrow to add the IP address to the table.
Network Specify the netmask for up to eight IP addresses supporting network aliasing. Subnets can improve
network security and performance by organizing hosts into logical groups. Applying the subnet mask to an
IP address separates the address into a host address and an extended network address. Select the down
arrow to add the mask to the table.
